THs NOT WATER REMEDY

The London Lancet contains an ex-
haustive article on the Therapeutical
Drinking of Hot Water; its Origin and
its Use" The article is written by DR..
Ephraim Cutter, an eminent physician
Of New York city, and contains some
statements and suggestions which, to
say the least, are certainly worthy Of
attention. DR.. Cutter says that the
first use made of hot water as a medi-
cine or health regulator was made
by DR.. James II. Salisbury Of New
York, who, by a series of experiments
on men and various animals, demon
strated its efficacy. In his article DR..
Cutter gives directions for the proper
use of hot water. In the first place it
must be hot-that is, not less than 40
degrees nor more than $50 degrees Fab
renheit. This excites proper action
Of the digestive organs. Cold water
depresses and lukewarm water causes
vomiting. For diarrhea the hotter the
water the better; for hemorrhages il
should be at blood heat
The quantity OF hot water drunk va
riss from half pint to one pint and a
half. according to the condition Of the
patient and the disease treated. The
hot water should be taken one or two
hours before each meal. and half an
hour before retiring. This gives the
water time TO operate before food en-
tiers the stomach or sleep comes. The
water should be slipped slowly, and the
swallowing of half a pint should take
half an hour. Ii takes six months TO
wash out the liver and intestines thor
oughly. IL the hot water seems fat,
favorings, such as lemon. sage or gin
ger. may be added The effects OF
Drinking are noticed in the improved
feelings of the patient. The urine be-
comes clear as crystal. and perspiration
is free. The digestion improves, thirst
disappears, and there is no longer a
craving for liquor Taken as a whole,
from DIR. Cutters estimate the hot wa
ter treatment Is the most complete
remedy yet discovered for all the ills
